Here we go, beginning of week 3... Dave and I had a successful weekend, he is down a total of 21.5 lbs, and I am down .2 oz shy of 11 lbs. My losses have slowed down, but the inches continue to melt away for both of us! One thing worth noting is, we have taken substantial walks daily, wearing Skechers Shape-ups, and are really feeling the effects, so we are both likely gaining muscle in the process.. We do have a solid plan for each of the next phases of the diet, and are hoping to continue losing even then, although we realize the pace may slow down even more.
I wanted to share a couple of things.. We made Jerry's recipe with Coffee & chocolate stevia, we didn't include the milk, drank it iced, AND we combined our morning fruit by squeezing an orange into it.. If you like chocolate & orange together, this is really good!!!
Next.. Dave created a great recipe for our lunch yesterday:
Let's call it ~Hot Italian tomato chicken soup~
He pureed a can of organic tomatoes, a little garlic, and HOT red pepper, he then just added Italian herb seasoning, a little dehydrated onion, and put it on to simmer at medium heat.. While simmering, he cooked our chicken portions on the grill, just drizzled with a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar. He cut the chicken into bite size pieces, and added them to bowls with the tomato mixture divided for the two of us, then crumbled a half piece of Melba toast on top of each. This was very good, and very filling! You could eliminate the hot peppers if you're not a fan of spicy.
We have more folks starting this week, and I'm anxious to hear how Em & Heather are doing, it's been a while... Happy dieting to all :)
